Ceramic Painting: Eyes of the Wild
Paint & Fun: PIE Ceramics Event
- PIE Event
- Beginner
- PIE Zürich
- 2.5 Hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
One stare. One moment. One wild thing looking right through you.
In this atmospheric ceramic painting session, we’re capturing the quiet power of a tiger stepping out of the jungle — half-shadow, half-reflection, eyes locked on yours. It’s a moment of stillness and strength, of wild meeting water.
You’ll work with rich earthy tones, layered brushstrokes, and flowing lines — all on a plate that’s made to last. It’s expressive, bold, and just a little hypnotic.
No canvas. No pressure. Just you, a brush, and a story fired into clay.
✨ How PIE Events Work
You’ll be welcomed into our cozy, colourful studio, where creativity flows as easily as the drinks. Settle in, sip something tasty, and enjoy step-by-step guidance from our lovely instructors.
And here’s the twist: we’re painting it on ceramics.
In this special ceramic painting event, we’re turning everyday plates into mini-masterpieces. Sure, you can hand-paint a plate any time in our Creative Café – but this time, you’ll create something truly next level. With guidance, techniques, and a touch of wild inspiration, your piece will go from “cute” to captivating.
Fired, glazed, and designed to last – whether it hangs on your wall or holds your favourite slice of cake.
It’s painting, but with an edge. A little cooler. A little glossier. A whole lot more permanent.
No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything:
- A chill, friendly atmosphere
- All the necessary art supplies
- Pre-prepared templates
- Step-by-step guidance from our instructors
🥂 Artsy Sips & Bites
Every event includes a complimentary welcome drink to get your creativity flowing. You can choose from:
- A soft drink or hot drink
- A glass of wine, prosecco, or beer
- Or our Cocktail of the Week (rotates weekly)
Want to upgrade your welcome drink? We serve a curated selection of cocktails, mocktails, smoothies and more for just CHF 5–9 more.
🍴 Feeling peckish? Our Creative Café offers a delicious à la carte menu throughout the session — featuring homemade wraps, salad bowls, finger foods, and healthy snacks — perfect for fueling your inner artist. Extra drinks are also available at regular menu prices.

Spin some symmetry. Paint some peace. Glaze a plate. Repeat.
In this laid-back ceramic painting session, we’re diving into the satisfying world of mandalas — bold lines, meditative patterns, and shapes that just… click. You’ll be painting directly onto a ceramic plate, using flowing lines and repetitive forms to create your own calming masterpiece.
With guidance from our lovely instructors, you’ll learn how to map out your mandala, choose colours that pop (or soothe), and use ceramic glazes to bring your vision to life. No stress, no mistakes — just the joy of flow, focus, and symmetry on a plate that’ll last forever.
Zen garden? Overrated. Mandala plate? Nailed it.
